They're garnered almost 300,000 users and sent out over 0.5 million
work units in the past 10 days.

The user info tends to update irregularly for some reason; mine
appears to catch up on every other work unit.

The connection to transfer work seems to be really busy or spotty;
I've had times when it took 3 attempts to return the results and
another 3 to get a new work unit.

Just pretend you're still in college trying to sign up for liberal
arts electives!  I seem to recall lines that were 2-3 days long :)
